When i was 5, my parents enrolled me at Detroit Dance Company. Loving dance, I began to take part in several ballets, including "Swan Lake" and, in 1983, I starred in some musicals (sometimes singing in Italian). My screen debut was a role in the TV movie Frog (1987) (TV). then got work as an extra in some TV series: "TV 101" (1988), "Day by Day" (1988), etc. In the summer of 1989, I was in L.A. and auditioned for a role on "Saved by the Bell" (1989). I got the role and became a TV star. After 4 seasons, I left the show to try to break into cinema. In 1994, I filmed 4 movies, including Showgirls (1995)which was a flop, and continued to guest star in very popular TV shows, like "Diagnosis Murder" (1993). At the same time, I was studying English Literature at a college in California. After Showgirls (1995), I signed with United Talent Agency and then filmed some Hollywood films with small roles (The First Wives Club (1996) and Any Given Sunday (1999)) and starred in some indies (_Taxman, The (1999)_ , Last Call (1999/II), The Real Blonde (1997). In 1999, I performed on stage in London as Honey in "Lenny". Her performances in Roger Dodger (2002) and Moving Malcolm (2003), two independent movies released in 2002 and 2003, impressed the critics. I made my Broadway debut in "Sly Fox", in February 2004, three months after my marriage with New York artist Greg Lauren. I returned to The Great White Way in the terrific Off-Broadway production "Hurlyburly" directed by Scott Elliott and co-starring Ethan Hawke, Parker Posey and Wallace Shawn. I received some of the best reviews of my acting career for my impressive performance as Bonnie. I also stared in student seduction and cover story those two movies are on lifetime!
